React JS CRUD Application with Asp.Net Core Web API + Entity Framework + Sql Server

React JS is a popular JavaScript library used for building user interfaces. It is widely used for creating single-page applications due to its efficient and flexible nature. In this tutorial, we will explore how to create a CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) application using React JS with Asp.Net Core Web API, Entity Framework, and Sql Server.

Prerequisites

Before getting started, make sure you have the following tools and technologies installed:

• Node.js and npm
• Visual Studio Code or any other code editor
• Sql Server Management Studio or any other SQL Server management tool
• .Net Core SDK

Setting up the Asp.Net Core Web API

First, create a new Asp.Net Core Web API project in Visual Studio or using the command line tools. Then, set up the Entity Framework to work with Sql Server by creating a DbContext and defining the models for the database tables.

Creating the CRUD endpoints

After setting up the database and defining the models, create the CRUD endpoints in the Asp.Net Core Web API. These endpoints should include the operations for creating, reading, updating, and deleting the data from the database.

Building the React JS application

Next, create a new React JS application using the create-react-app command line tool. Then, build the components for the CRUD operations such as creating, reading, updating, and deleting the data. Use the fetch API or axios to make HTTP requests to the Asp.Net Core Web API endpoints.

Connecting the React JS application with the Asp.Net Core Web API

Finally, connect the React JS application with the backend Asp.Net Core Web API by making HTTP requests to the CRUD endpoints. Update the state of the components based on the data received from the API and handle user interactions for creating, updating, and deleting data.

Conclusion

In this article, we have learned how to build a CRUD application using React JS with Asp.Net Core Web API, Entity Framework, and Sql Server. By following these steps, you can create a fully functional application for managing and manipulating data in a database using modern web development technologies.
